The Dandelion Deity (POV story/poetry)

In a slow oak and elm ING breath Ent felt tears in the air She inquired the feather like dancer From where a river now streamed Say, your sobbing must stop Just enjoy being unlocked You do not know tree pain With my long hard locks Knotted under the weight of usefulness for you are still yet a seed Riding the wind of dreams No rings yet formed on fingers rings to be broken for fires timber Your tendrils are bendable The beginning fragment of a future So show no pain and suture a smile I know capons who fell free from home Only for gravity to shatter dreams & reclaim them to the unknown. And the dandelion said: My short life comes with long memory While  my youth may seem naive to tree I have only arrived and I must die to be You will remain when I am reborn deity And as your locks begin to leaves And birds flock like river ocean streams I know pain because I remember birth I will die a thousand times before you know me Yet these tears should not offend I cry to womb the happiness within.
